Common BJJ Problems & FAQ
Q: Why do I feel like I'm losing my balance and falling over when I try to initiate the Berimbolo system from a guard pass attempt?
You're likely overextending your base and leaning too far forward, causing your center of gravity to shift ahead of your supporting leg. To correct this, maintain a strong, stable base by keeping your hips low and your weight distributed over both feet, ensuring your hips are always behind your shoulders during the initial movement.
Q: How can I effectively use the Berimbolo system to sweep a much larger and stronger opponent who is trying to pass my guard?
Against a larger opponent, focus on using their weight and momentum against them by driving your hips into their supporting leg as you initiate the roll, creating an off-balancing lever. Your goal is to get your hips underneath their center of gravity, forcing them to fall forward as you spin to their back.
Q: When I attempt the Berimbolo, my opponent seems to easily sprawl and shut it down. What biomechanical adjustment can I make to prevent this?
Your opponent is likely Sprawling because you're telegraphing the movement and not getting your hips low enough and close enough to their legs. To counter, ensure your hips are glued to their hips and you're initiating the roll with a powerful hip bump and a tight leg weave, making it difficult for them to establish a solid base to sprawl.
